The answers to today's Strands, game #527, are DOUBLE DUPLICATE LOOKALIKE 
REPLICA FACSIMILE SPANGRAM: COPY THAT My rating: Hard My score: 1 hint 

Todays Strands was fiendishly tricky, in part because of the length of the 
words. 

The theme gave me a big clue towards what we were searching for, but I still 
needed a hint to get started. 

After being gifted DOUBLE I spotted COPY and THAT separately as non-game 
words before splicing them together to make up the Spangram. 

I love the idea of doppelgangers roaming the world, unaware of a REPLICA 
version living their lives thousands of miles away. When I was a kid, my dad 
bought back a holiday brochure that had what I thought was a photo of my 
mother and sister on the front cover  except it wasnt. 

That brochure was shown to anyone who visited for years and they were all 
aghast at the similarity. Recently, on a visit home I found it in a drawer 
and was shocked how unlike them the photo was  Id just been seduced by the 
idea of it. 

I wonder if my doppelganger is playing Strands right now Yesterday's NYT
